EuroBLECH 2026, the 28th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, will take place from 20 October 2026 to 23 October 2026 in Hannover, Germany. Think of it as the sector's trading floor — a concentrated space where supply meets demand and orders get written. Running every two years, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. The steady hand of RELX keeps the logistics invisible and the focus firmly on the content. Hannover Messe takes on hosting duties, its layout well suited to crowds and content alike.

Choosing Hannover as the host city gives EuroBLECH 2026 a real sense of place. Visitors get the dual benefit of a focused professional programme and a destination worth exploring. Reaching Hannover is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. From polished chain hotels to independent boutiques, Hannover has a bed for every budget and taste. The city's restaurants, museums and atmosphere give visitors plenty to enjoy beyond the exhibition halls. As one of Germany's key destinations, Hannover regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

Exhibitors showcase Sheet Metal, Metal Working, Metal Working Industry, Metal Working Technology and Manufacturing & Engineering, making it easy to discover new products, materials and business partners under one roof. Deals start on the floor and continue over coffee, which is exactly how the format is meant to work. An exhibition of 1317+ exhibitors showcases the products and ideas defining the field. With 160,000 m² of exhibition space, the event provides a spacious, well-organised environment for business.

For the cost of a few days, you get a read on the whole market that no spreadsheet can match. For trade professionals, agents and distributors, EuroBLECH 2026 remains a valuable opportunity to source, connect and keep pace with the market.

Give yourself a realistic plan for each day — the schedule is full, and trying to see everything is a fast route to seeing very little.
